Not to be picky but why even mention race? We do not need to keep this type of information. I would have left it at diverse group and the majors. I am guessing the blacks guys would have easily fit into "kids from all over the US" group.
This is of course unless I am missing some Beta first: first Korean to ever pledge, first Sudanese to ever pledge or African prince pledges Beta.
Just one brothers opinion.

I agree it nice to have a good cross section or varied representation.
I just thoughth it was not needed to be identified. There are too many lawyers and judges that would use that particular posting to represent Beta Theta Pi as a whole and cost us money in defending ourselves needlessly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't WVa coming down to Pirate country tomorrow for an ESPN-2 game?! GOOD TIMES!
Epsilon Alpha (East Carolina Univ) just finished formal IFC Rush last night @ Midnight. We got 4 guys through that. We expect more throughout the next week or so of informal recruitment.

Oldest Pledge,
If I made some remarks how I was pissed off that my chapter was allowing that to happen, then that would be bad. I'm happy that we have some diversity because often times non-white students (at least on my campus) never even consider joining a fraternity.
ECUJacob,
I'm hoping to make it to that game if possible. I'm in VA right now with the Army and I don't think it would be that far of a drive for me to go.

Coramoor,
If you (or your brothers) need a place to tailgate, party, sleep, etc, please feel free to let us know and we'll glad to help you. We're always willing to hang out with other chapters!

OK. I am cool with this. I am happy that there is diversity as well. I grew up as the minority up to 7th grade (basically an 80/20 split in school) so I am sensitive to all the labling issues. I prefer to be called Euro-American rather than white (I am a pale tan, thank you).

Hm
here at San Jose State University, we had our lowest fall incoming pledge class in the past 4 years. We have 6 new pledges but already have guys who want to join in the spring. I am the recruitment chairman for the 06-07 yr and bust my butt and saw little results. So the new tactic is to rush during the fall and pledge a lot more guys in the spring. It would be cool to rush during the summer but we have too many commuters and that option is not available to us. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
